.al The football team set some pretty high goals this season, and they met the chal- lenges with intensity and determination. According to Coach Amabile, The kids were at their best when things got tough. For the first time ever, the varsi- ty football team made it to the NJSIAA Group IV playoffs. With a record of 6-2- 0, the Scarlet Fliers played J.P. Stevens of N. Edison, but lost with a score of 34-13 to place second in Class A North. Losing the Thanksgiving game to Asbury Park Making The Finals ended the season at 6-4-O. Speaking for the team, Defensive End Andre Nash said, Although we lost a few important games, we reached our goal-we made it to the playoffs! It seems that Coach John Amabile worked wonders with the team. The most outstanding players were Henry Bacon with ten touchdowns for the sea- son and John Blanton who, according to Amabile, was the most versatile athlete he had ever coached.
